Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency has hit a six-month high, registering a price increase to around $216 after breaking through important resistance levels, according to analytical materials. Over the week, the cryptocurrency rose by about 16%, driven by institutional purchases, technical signals, and improved market sentiment.
Technical indicators point to growing interest: a “golden cross” has formed on the SOL/BTC chart — a temporary pattern that has previously preceded powerful upward rallies. A possible target is $300.
Renewed investor confidence: Large purchases by major players (such as Digital Asset Treasuries) had a noticeable impact, which also strengthened fundamental confidence in Solana.
Social media: Against the backdrop of rising prices, positive mentions of Solana have increased almost sixfold compared to negative ones — the highest since June.
ETFs and institutional demand Launch of the first Solana ETF (SSK) that supports staking; funds established by Galaxy Digital, Sharps, and Pantera — potentially $3 billion in demand.
Solana has updated its six-month high and is showing steady growth thanks to a combination of technical signals, institutional demand, and positive public perception. If current activity levels continue, SOL could quickly approach $300 again. However, investors should consider the risks, including a possible correction and external macro factors.

Bitcoin is holding steady at $113,000, down 0.8% over the week. The key support level is $109,000: breaking through it could trigger a correction in the cryptocurrency market, especially in the altcoin segment.
Meanwhile, Binance has resumed futures trading after a brief hiatus, restoring investors’ access to an important hedging tool.
In the spotlight: regulatory changes and ETFs
The US SEC is preparing a new scheme for simplified listing of ETPs (ETF-like products) — similar to classic ETFs under the 1940 law. This could pave the way for ETFs on Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and others.
XRP has lost investor interest despite positive news (victory over the SEC, launch in the UAE, and partnership with Gemini). Technical analysis points to a possible further decline.
Litecoin may attract attention amid rumors of an ETF launch — and although the project’s capitalization is large, moderate growth is possible.
The novelty of the week is Layer Brett (LBRETT). It is a meme coin with a utility basis (Ethereum Layer 2). It raised over $1.4 million in presales, promising staking bonuses of up to 1,500%. Analysts are discussing the potential for multiple growth.
ETH funds received $1.3 billion in investments in a week thanks to the Federal Reserve’s soft stance. This is a continuation of the inflow into ETH instruments: $3.7 billion has already been recorded since June, while Bitcoin funds are losing money.
There has been an increase in crypto treasuries — companies that buy crypto as a reserve. These big players hold about 1 million BTC, reducing availability on exchanges to below 15% for the first time since 2018, which is putting upward pressure on prices.
Outlook for the future: we expect steady growth provided the regulatory environment remains stable.
If the SEC approves the new ETF rules, it could trigger a powerful influx of institutional capital into assets such as Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and even utility-based memecoins such as Layer Brett.
Bitcoin will receive additional support when the Fed cuts rates, with the potential to grow to $150-160 thousand in the long term.

The cryptocurrency market is showing steady growth: the total market capitalization exceeded $4.1 trillion, with a daily increase of about 2–2.6%.
Bitcoin is currently trading at around $122,000–123,000, close to its all-time high reached in July 2025. Ethereum has strengthened to $4,300, its highest level since the end of 2021.
The growth of the cryptocurrency market is driven by:
Against this backdrop, the crypto market is experiencing a “crypto summer” — a wave of IPOs and public listings of companies in the industry, including brands such as Galaxy Digital, Coinbase, and Kraken.
The market has reached new heights: capitalization consistently exceeds $4 trillion, and Bitcoin and Ethereum are strengthening, supported by institutional inflows and favorable regulation. Regulatory initiatives are stimulating investor interest and confidence: the creation of cryptocurrency ETFs, the permission to include digital assets in pension funds, and the promotion of stablecoin laws (the Genius Act in the US). The industry is becoming increasingly institutionalized: companies are actively launching IPOs, and large funds are entering the market and accumulating assets.
The overall trend is positive: active growth continues, but volatility risks remain, especially in the event of a deterioration in the macroeconomic situation or a change in the policies of key regulators.
The cryptocurrency market is showing steady growth in early August 2025. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) on August 5 exceeds $114,900, while Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,685, according to data from leading exchanges and analytical platforms.
According to information from trading platforms, Bitcoin remains in the $113,900–$115,600 range. Ethereum is showing more active dynamics and grew by more than 40% in July, facilitated by institutional accumulation and growing interest in ETH-based ETF products.
Analysts attribute ETH’s growth to increased institutional interest — according to Reuters, the total portfolio of public companies in ETH exceeded 966,000 coins (about $3.5 billion), making Ethereum the No. 1 asset for corporate crypto trading in 2025.
Against this backdrop, ETH’s technical potential is estimated at $4,100 in the short term and $6,000–8,000 by the end of the year, provided that resistance above $4,000 is overcome.
At the same time, the Bitcoin price remains stable despite the seasonal August decline in activity. In the short term, BTC could reach $120,000–122,000, according to Cryptonews.
Major altcoins are showing mixed movements. XRP has recovered to $3.65 after a correction and, according to analysts’ forecasts, could reach $5 if the overall market growth continues. Solana (SOL) is receiving support from the DeFi and NFT segments, with a possible rise to $240–247 during August. Dogecoin (DOGE) shows limited potential despite short-term spikes. It is expected to move in the $0.20–0.23 range if market conditions are favorable.
Overall, analysts expect moderately positive dynamics in August amid growing demand from institutional investors and continued interest in crypto ETFs. Potential range: Bitcoin — $115,000–120,000, Ethereum — $3,800–4,200, XRP — $4.20–5.00, Solana — $235–250.
A correction is possible in September amid a traditional slowdown in activity and expectations of decisions from the US Federal Reserve. However, fundamental factors (growth of ETF structures, a positive regulatory environment in the EU and the US, interest in staking and DeFi) create the conditions for the upward trend to continue in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has identified cases of unlicensed activity in the non-bank financial services market, in particular the exchange of cryptocurrencies for currency, money transfers, and the provision of loans, and will strengthen its supervision in this area.
“We are working systematically to limit any opportunities to use the banking and payment infrastructure to serve the shadow economy (…) We will intensify our activities in the future,” NBU Governor Andriy Pyshnyy said on his Facebook page.
He stressed that de-shadowing will contribute to the formation of a sustainable investment resource for the economy, and also announced the launch of a new area of work for the NBU – identifying unlicensed activities in the non-bank financial services and payment markets.
“Unfortunately, we see that outside the legal field of Ukraine and the relevant supervision of the NBU, citizens are being offered services that have the characteristics of financial services: transfer and issuance of funds, provision of loans, exchange of cryptocurrencies for currency,” Pyshny wrote.
The head of the NBU noted that the goal is not only to identify unauthorized market participants, but also to bring them back into the legal field or initiate legal proceedings against them.
As reported, the National Bank continues to investigate the activities of companies that may be providing financial services without the appropriate licenses, including Obmen24, X-Change, Liberty Finance (KIT GROUP), Tsarsky.io, FinMobile, and Trustee Plus.
